giler betul, cikgu nuar kat bottom three... cisss!!! semua tiga-tiga tuh not bad pulak tuh jessica, cikgu nuar and nadia... i don't think jessica patut terkeluar tonight... but what to do... orang kat amerika sana nun dah vote macam tuh... kalau ikut kan persembahan the night before, anthony langsung tak menunjukkan that he deserves to be in the top nine... takpalah.. i still think jessica adalah among the best female vocalist and can compete with some of the guys macam anthony or scott... goodbye jessica, and best of luck!

bunyinya macam senang jer... 'so many things to tell'... tapi to jot down what was in my mind is not as easy... oh, by the way, i don't really have any pictures that could relate to what i want to say, so i letak gambar-gambar yang shonny ambik during one of his diving trip... he's into underwater photos pulak sekarang nih... hhhmmm... alamatnya, my project to create cooking book kena put on hold sekejap lah nih... though i dah discuss dengan one printing company about design, layout and cost... takpalah... it will be my long term project...

ok, on friday i had lunch with one of my best friend, tapi i taknak letak nama dia kat sinih... anyway, while makan tuh kita orang borak-borak lah... suddenly it just hit me in the head that i am such a selfish person... i've known this friend for quite some time now but honestly, this is the first time ever i dengar dia ceriter about problem dia... surprisingly, i don't know much about my friend nih... i guess i'm too busy talking about myself and my problem that i forgot, orang lain pun ada masalah jugak... i always claimed that i'm a good listener, but am i really?!? i felt ashamed of myself... and though i don't know how to say i'm sorry to this friend face to face, i would like to take this opportunity here to say that 'i am so very sorry for not being a good friend to you... all these while you were always there when i needed you, when i need a shoulder to cry on, when i need some advices, or when i just need someone to listen to my whining... thank you and i will do my best to do the same for you'...

saturday, i spent most of my time with the kids... lunch time i cakap kat my mom tak payah masak... just masak nasi jer... so i bawak the kids pergi beli lauk pauk... i let them pilih sendiri lauk apa yang dia orang nak makan... aiman pilih lala masak lemak (one of his favourite seafood... lala...), eisya nak ayam goreng and paru goreng, farah pun nak ayam goreng and anies nak ikan bakar... see, takda sorang pun pilih sayur... muahahahaha... so i tapau extra lauk like kacang panjang goreng dengan hati and telur dadar... after lunch, i watched cartoons with them until semua terlelap seketika... mula-mula tuh rancang dengan diaorang nak tengok robots lagi sekali but since sunday i masuk kerja about noon memang tak sempatlah, so i've made a plan with my sister and brother-in-law to take the kids to sunway lagoon... since i don't want to cut the fun short, i will go with them in the morning and leave them with my sister in the afternoon and go to the office from there...

it was a tiring weekend... but not a 'bad' kind of tired... but a 'good and wonderful' kind of tired... looking at their beautiful happy faces just to be able to go to sunway lagoon was priceless... how i wish i could take the kids for a long holiday macam kak shamina, kak watie or co2... but i hope they will forgive me this time around... next school holiday, i promise i will take them somewhere nice and fun...

nothing much that i can say about this week's american idol... i thought everybody did pretty well except for mikalah gordon... lagih pun, sebab diaorang nyanyi number one songs in billboard chart (kira semua orang boleh ingat and relate to the song lah) sebab tu lah kita dengar macam sedap jer... anyway, i sekarang nak jadik macam kak aidid... in the sense that, stick to one... thick or thin... muahahahaha... so, i don't really care that much about other contestants other than cikgu nuar... muahahahaa... macam kak aidid suka kat constantine tuh lah...

jessica sierra... billboard week...

other than cikgu nuar, i thought there were few others yang performed very well... one of them was jessica sierra with total eclipse of the heart... yang paling i ingat was the last part of the song masa camera pusing-pusing dia tuh, then she ends it with one nod to the camera... classy... tapi classy nya sampai kat situ jer lah... kalau nak cakap pasal dressing dia... hhmmmm... dia mesti jenis dedah-dedah sikit, which to me memang tak perlu langsung... lagu rancak ker, lagu slow ker, sumer jenis terdedah jugak... payah... mmuuahahahahaha...

despite what the over-paid judges tuh cakap, i think cikgu nuar's performance was amazing with ain't nobody... bukan senang nak nyanyi lagu chaka khan tuh... i like his style, his simplicity, and most of all his amazing beautiful vocal...

again, if you ask me who is going to win american idol, i will say cikgu nuar... and if you ask me who's going out this week, my bet is on mikalah gordon... tuh pun kalau orang kat amerika tuh bijak pandai macam orang kat malaysia nih lah... muahahahaha...

we just bid good bye to mikalah gordon... i wish her the best of luck... i think one of the comedy series should get her on board, because i tell you, she is funny and fun, and she can really act... good bye mikalah...

yes, of course... i'm doing this for my family... trying my best to provide them selagi yang termampu... like all of us, we want nothing short of the best for our family, tapi kadangkala kita terlupa, that they just want a bit of our time... again... hhhmmmm...

next week is another thing... i have to make the toughest decision yet... in my life... and i'm not happy... what is wrong with these people?!? masa orang kerja setengah mati, bukan main susah lagih nak dapat increament lah, nak naik pangkat lah... tapi bila kita dah dapat satu offer, mulalah orang yang sama nih nak offer this and offer that!!! well, i'm tired and this time around, i will make my own decision...

friday, i'm taking a day off... i'm taking the kids to watch robots and later in the evening (minum air suam) nak pergi melalak (minum air suam) dengan kengkawan (minum air suam)...

*type entry sambil tengok idol... well, more like dengar jer... based on their performances just now, i guess my bottom three will be mikalah, constantine and scott... and i hope mikalah keluar... nope, she is not a top 10 material...

sebenarnya i bukan malas nak review american idol... it’s more like, i memang tak pandai nak tulis review... walaupun tekaan i siapa yang terkeluar tuh memang tepat, still it does not make me somebody yang pandai tulis review nih... but since some of my close friends dok suruh jugak, and since i memang takda kerja sangat nak buat malam-malam, so i guess i buat lah... but mind you, this is just my personal opinion...

lindsey cardinale...

i could be orang amerika kot (yang gelap-gelap lah)... muahahahahha.... kalau i ada kat amerika masa tuh, memang i turn off the volume pun masa dia nyanyi… sayang sangat-sangat sebab dia memang ada suara yang sedap, tapi pilihan lagu and not to forget, kena nyanyi in tune are very important in this kind of competition… kalau i boleh vote, i won’t vote for lindsey cardinale for her performance that night walaupun vote tuh free of charge... yes, she’s pretty and all.... yes, she does have a good singing voice, but to challenge the other 11 contestants, i think it’s out of her league...

mikalah gordon...

kalau nak dikirakan, i betul 2/3 daripada bottom three tuh... after the show (i watched it three times... at 4pm, 8pm and again at 11.30pm...) i thought the bottom three should be lindsey, mikalah, and nikko.... yes i know, i like mikalah gordon, tapi kalau dia takleh nyanyi, memang takleh nyanyi lah kan... the thing about mikalah is, she spices up the show... i think kalau dia takda, idol will be ‘a tad’ boring... sekurang-kurangnya, dia ada untuk entertain penonton (or to some, will annoy them... muahahahahaa...) but i don’t think she will last for another two weeks kot...

nikko smith...

nikko smith to me nih macam kira af masuk jugaklah nih... muahahahaha... his performance the night before tuh to me tak memberangsangkan langsung... yes, again, i agree! he does have the voice, but...hhhmmm... entah lah... kalau the last week tuh, americans dah tak pilih dia untuk ke final 12, should he at least buat lagih baik so that he can prove them wrong? His performance macam tahap-tahap karaoke jer…

jessica sierra...

i still think jessica sierra was way much better than nikko smith to be in the bottom three... anyway, it’s still too soon to tell... they have to go through a lot more different genres before one of them can be crowned as american idol... though i love jessica’s husky voice, dia takda the ‘charm’ factor yang boleh membuatkan orang ingat pada dia… so i guess sebab utama dia jatuh bottom three tuh sebab dia jadik penyanyi yang pertama and people lupa about her after all the twelve performances…

anwar robinson...

but again... muahahahahaa... ok, but again, (my bias talking) anuar robinson alias cikgu nuar is still the best! lepas dengar tiga kali dia nyanyi ‘a house is not a home’, i dah minat giler dengan lagu tuh... still, he needs to get a cue from simon (the british tad innit simon, not our local simon) that if he keeps playing safe, the americans won’t save him... so, buckle-up my idol cikgu nuar... showcase your voice to the world....

look here ladies, here comes the malaysian manhunt of the year... muahahahah... his name is aiman hakim... he's 4... living in puchong with his grandparents, aunties and cousins... he speaks better english than his dad (but of course!), he loves cartoons (channel 60, 61, 62 and 63) and occasionally channel 71 to see the latest video clips... suka pergi zoo (so ladies, if you are not willing to walk, forget it ok!) nih kalau besar nanti nih sama ada jadik vet atau jadik penjaga zoo nih...

his favourite animal is horse... so both of us memang regular kat ioi mall yang ada merry-go-round tuh... dia punya favourite soft toy (kuda lah, apa lagih) is with me, which i put next to me every night i nak tidur (eehhhh, kira dah jadik mine lah kan!!) but nope, it will not be part of the hantaran... no way! cita-cita bila besar nanti nak jadi pilot... walaupun daddy nya adalah bekas penyanyi kaberet, i don't think he will follow that footstep though...

again, he amazed me with 'what's going on' in the second elimination round... i know that some time, orang susah nak terima kalau gaya penyampaian kita terlalu banyak lari daripada penyanyi asal, tapi for me, not in cikgu nuar's case... why? sebab like i said before, he made it his own... macam lagu yang dia nyanyikan tuh lagu dia sendiri... itu yang best tuh...

cikgu nuar 4...

'what a wonderful world' just nailed it in the third elimination round!!! it was superb!! the way he controlled his voice, the way he hit the right notes at the right time, the way he presented it to the audience... wow! wow! wow! and nih baru the top 24 elimination round... belum masuk top 12 finalist... though i have a strong feelings that he will be the next american idol, i'm not 100% sure either... i was wrong a thousand times before... last year, i thought fantasia and la toya will be in the final and my bet was on la toya... but what to do... muahahaha... so i guess, since i have my own blog now (muahahahahaa...*gelak getik*) i can at least put him as my american idol... so you will see his picture kat bawah belah kanan tuh...

i do hope that we gain something from this gathering... new friendship and all... well, i know i dah dapat kawan baru... walaupun hanya dapat bertegur hai dan hello, insyaAllah, bila masa mengizinkan kelak, we will find more things in common that we will be able to relate to each other...

happy nyer tengok semua orang happy...

again, thank you all... i'm glad that i did what i did... i'm glad that i decided to go with the plan...
